    My family is very ignorant when it comes to dealing with my Autism. Family gatherings (which happen quite frequently) are super uncomfortable for me and nobody seems to get why, despite me explaining it over and over again. My older brother won’t even acknowledge me having Asperger’s, he just thinks I’m “being weird” on purpose.

        I kinda just stopped trying, now I’m just doing whatever I can to get out of those situations. I don’t really care what they think about that any more.

        I’ve tried to make things right for everyone around me all my life, it’s time I finally look after myself more.
